About Harun Thohir
- Lance Corporal Harun Thohir (alias Harun Said Muhammad Ali) (1947-1968) is now regarded as a National Hero of Indonesia, and known for his role in MacDonald House bombing in Singapore on 10 March 1965, alongside his partner, Usman Harun (alias Janatin), during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation. Following his arrest and trial for the attack, which resulted in civilian casualties of 3 deaths and 33 injuries, Thohir, together with Usman was sentenced to death on October 1968, and later buried in Kalibata Heroes' Cemetery, Jakarta.
- Both of them were later honored as the National Hero of Indonesia.
- In 2014, one of the ships of the Bung Tomo-class corvette by the Indonesian Navy was named after him and Usman, the KRI Usman-Harun.
- The name however, causes controversy between Indonesia and Singapore, and Singaporean government banned the ship named from berthing at their port or entering Singapore waters.
